After the clusterfuck that's been Cheryl Cole's presence on the the US version of X Factor finally concluded itself with her being fired and replaced by Nicole Scherzinger on the judges panel, the former Pussycat Dolls singer made her debut on the series this past week, alongside Paula Abdul, Simon Cowell, and L.A. Reid in Newark for the latest round of auditions - and all four of them were extremely MUM on what had gone down behind-the-scenes!

All Scherzinger would say about the matter was that she "tries not to read" what the press writes and that Chezza was "a lovely, beautiful girl."

We're sure that what this means is that the aforementioned comments were pretty much everything she's allowed to say about the mess!

And we don't blame her for zipping her lips! Gurl doesn't want to get her ass fired, too!

That being said, we certainly hope that's she acclimating well to her new role, and that this show will have no further headaches!

Nicole sucks. She sucks on The Sing-Off. Seriously its more about her flirting with the men on their than actual judging. I want Cheryl on there. I love Cheryl. Well I won't be watching X-Factor then. No Cheryl no reason to watch it.

I don't understand at all why they would have fired Cheryl and replaced her with Nicole. I probably won't watch the show as I don't have time, but I would have likely tuned in to see what Cheryl would be like, as I've heard of her but not seen her on TV before, but I HAVE seen Nicole on DWTS, and she is a bit obnoxious. I don't know what it is exactly about Nicole, she just has something irritating about her. Bad choices all around.

You Simon Cowell stab Cheryl in the back. WOW what a friend you are? you force Cheryl off the show. as an American i wanted to see Cheryl on X FACTOR U.S. and i was at The Sear's Centre auditions Cheryl was GREAT as a judge and she was HAPPY. I WILL NEVER WATCH X FACTOR U.S.

Even though I think people would love Cheryl, I don't imagine her sitting next to Reid with a straight face pretending to be a big thing. But neither I imagine Nicole doing that, so go figure. I'd understand if they replaced her with someone like Mariah. The whole thing is so nasty, I won't watch it just because they are so nasty.

refuse to watch this without cheryl. then it would be about these fugly no talent losers auditioning.. i like nicole but only when she's half naked or in a bikini and shaking her ass and telling me to loosen up her buttons. but if she's gona have clothes on and speak. then FUCK THAT SHIT. I WANT NOTHING TO DO WITH THIS SHOW. nottttttttttttttttttt watching!!!!!!!!!!!! miss my cute cheryl

Nicole is a boring judge, she was rubbish on UK XF last year when Cheryl had malaria and she covered for her…. she's just a very fake person i think, if she cries you can tell its put on and fake and she's the biggest kiss ass…FAKE! US XF is in serious danger of tanking big time. The judging line up on US XF and UK XF is pretty dull this year, doubt i'll watch either.

Re: buhwahdmoda –
So just as we all thought You only fancy Cheryl and want to see her half naked u idiot Boy!
The piont is she cant sing, cant dance and should have never got the job, there's alot more to life than looks and cheryl is just realising this as her free ride on the back of her looks just ended. So Get a life little boy if u want to Wank over cheryl do it in your own bedroom

Re: lilyawesome – Why do you keep copying & pasting the same boring words on every article on cheryl, Are you Completely Deranged or something?
